Create a Wasabi bucket
Before you can add buckets to Nebbl, you need to create them in the cloud storage provider services. Here are the detailed instructions for the Wasabi service.
Creating a Wasabi bucket
Our task is to get 4 credential items for our bucket, which are:
- Region
- Bucket name
- Access key
- Secret key
Go to https://wasabi.com and sign up for an account if you haven't already.
After registering and activating the account go to the Buckets section:
Click the Create Bucket button. The Create Bucket modal window will open. Enter your bucket name. For our purposes we chose nebbl-bucket as the name. This will be the first of our 4 credentials, please note it down.
After that select the region from the dropdown list. For our purposes we chose s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com. Click the Copy button to copy the region to your clipboard and save it somewhere. This is the second credential (Region) from our set. Then click the Create Bucket button:
After the bucket is created go to the Access Keys section:
On the Access Keys page, click the Create Access Key button.
The Create Access Key modal window will open with Root User option selected by default. Click the Create button.
Another modal window will open with the access key details. Note down the Access Key and Secret Key values, these are the third and fourth credentials from our list. You can click the Copy Keys To Clipboard button to copy the keys to your clipboard.
The credentials on this final page will be shown only once for security reasons, so be sure to copy them to a safe private place.
Finally click the Close button.
Treat your Secret key as a password. Don't share it anywhere outside of Nebbl or your cloud provider account.
Your Secret key is securely encrypted within the Nebbl service and is never transmitted outside of it or even to the Nebbl user interface.
That's all! Now we have all four credentials and we can add this bucket to Nebbl.
